There wasn't some recent genetic evolution that endowed us with superior moral virtue. We develop tools that increase our productivity such that slave labor no longer makes sense.
Data points now exist that show that slavery is a boat-anchor on society. You don't get the best work.

Would that we could, today, reproduce something like the Serapeum:

Massive Ancient 100 Ton Boxes Underground At The Serapeum In Egypt ...
Massive Ancient 100 Ton Boxes Underground At The Serapeum In Egypt One of the most intriguing sites in Egypt, which egyptologists can not logically explain is the Serapeum, located in the massive ancient area known as Saqqara. Literally buried and forgotten under the sands of time, Auguste Mariette discovered the Serapeum in 1850.
Optically flat surfaces on Diorite. No small feat. You don't get that level of work with slaves.
